冗 and 亢

冗  and 亢 look alike, but 亢 has a dot on top and is just one line with no overhang.
I guess 亢 kang is picture of an OVERBEARING person. the dot then is the head the table legs are human legs and the horizontal line of the lid on top is his arms. an overbearing person has no heart within, they are split apart
冗 rong3 is a picture of a table with a table cloth on top as a symbol of the idea of extra, extraneous, superfluous, unnecessary; a table doesn't need a table cloth to function, the table clothis extra unnecessary and superfluous

When a person is overbearing they leave us no choice but to resist. Add a hand to kang and it becomes resist. Or seen the other way overbearing people are also defiant
